No. 08-1112.

549 F.3d 573 (2008)

Bahri Karam KHAN, Petitioner, v. Michael B. MUKASEY, United States Attorney General, Respondent.

United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.

Decided December 5, 2008.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William P. Joyce and Joyce & Associates P.C., for petitioner.

Gregory G. Katsas, Assistant Attorney General, Anthony W. Norwood, Senior Litigation Counsel, and Shahrzad Baghai, Trial Attorney, Office of Immigration Litigation, on brief, for respondent.

Before TORRUELLA, BOUDIN and HOWARD, Circuit Judges.


HOWARD, Circuit Judge.

The petitioner, Bahri Karam Khan, a Pakistani national, seeks review of a Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") final order upholding an Immigration Judge's ("IJ") denial of his applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the United Nations Convention Against Torture ("CAT"). Discerning substantial evidence in the record to support the BIA's determination, we deny the petition for review.
